I find it funny how only OEM cables are super stiff and hard to plug in and out. Every since I got Cablemod cables, unplugging and plugging stuff back in has been a breeze.

The EVGA kit works just as well but those standard cables were stiff and a pain. Also hated the red GPU cables from the older models.

I was planning on going with the cablemods but EVGA had the white I wanted in stock and tossed me a bunch of cable combs for free and I lost my PSU AC cable so I had to call to order a replacement anyway.

The 850 watt G2 is miles better than the 850 ax even. Corsair units are junk for the price.Edited by Thoth420 - 8/24/16 at 4:04pm

because i own both and realize 1300w is overkill for a 5820k and a titanXP or 1080

since everyone raves about the g2 so much and its still sealed itd be easier to sell

The 1300W G2 is very high-end but it doesn't have ECO mode and some people complain that its fan is too loud even while their computer is just idling, and the AX850 has been known to have coil whine problems and it's based on the old SeaSonic X-Series. It's still a good PSU, but it's just an average high-end PSU now. Nothing special really.

You could power this with a good quality-made 550W PSU unless you're overclocking the piss out of both the CPU and video card.

If you sli one day and overclock GPU/CPU I would personally keep the G2. I'm actually using a 1600 for 6950x and 2 titan xp but when the psu gets old I know I'll still have plenty of power. Right now it's way overkill.
